-about my work-

I draw pictures of children and animals.
I have a child who does not speak and has grown up differently.
I also have a child who is not this way.
The world they see is sometimes contrasting.
This contrast can often be seen in those who live slowly, under the influence of nature (the weather, plants, animals) and opposed in those who live in an urban, more complex, fast-paced world.
A world that is not communicated through verbal conversation forces me to observe much more carefully. The environment without words is interesting and naturally manifests itself to us as a passion to draw the world in front of us.
I hope that my and all children can build a bridge with the world, where they can be themselves, looking together.
what I want is probably to create the impression that I am with him.

About Line drawing and Animal Dolls:We have often bought the animal figures every time we visited the toy shop,
I draw the ready-made wild animal figure dolls collected by my son. Creating scenes that look like they are being lined up and animated as if they were actively playing.I find it fascinating how hard, ready-made objects take on an organic warmth through the act of drawing by human hands, transforming into lines that evoke a sense of metamorphosis into animal shapes.

-作品について-

こどもとどうぶつの絵を描いています。
私は言葉がはなせない、認知機能の遅い子供を持っています。
また、健常の子供も、います。 両者の見ている世界は時に対照的です。
天候や草木、動物などの自然の摂理の中にゆっくり生きている方と 都会の、より複雑な、スピードのある世界を生きている方と。
会話で伝え合わない世界は私に注意深く観察させます。
言葉を介さない環境は興味深く、描く情熱として自ずと現れます。 目の前にある世界に対して、 自分らしくいられる世界との掛橋ができることをいつも願って、 一緒に探しています。

動物フィギュアデッサンについて/子供が集めた既製の野生動物フィギュアを用いて生き生きとあそんでいるかのように並べたり組み合わせたりしてシーンを作って描いています。硬く無機質なおもちゃの動物が人間の手によってデッサンされることで有機的な温かみのある線や不規則なゆがみが現れます。紙面に描かかれることで、既製品から生が生まれるような過程が面白いと思っています。
